NAME Graphics::ColorNames - defines RGB values for common color names REQUIREMENTS `Graphics::ColorNames' should work on Perl 5.005. It uses only standard modules. Installation Installation is pretty standard: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install HISTORY Revision history since v0.30: 0.31 23 Oct 2002 - fixed mispelling of "fuchsia" in HTML.pm SYNOPSIS use Graphics::ColorNames qw( hex2tuple tuple2hex ); tie %NameTable, 'Graphics::ColorNames', 'X'; my $rgbhex1 = $NameTable{'green'}; # returns '00ff00' my $rgbhex2 = tuple2hex( 0, 255, 0 ); # returns '00ff00' my @rgbtup = hex2tuple( $rgbhex ); # returns (0, 255, 0) my $rgbhex3 = $NameTable{'#123abc'}; # returns '123abc' my $rgbhex4 = $NameTable{'123abc'}; # returns '123abc' DESCRIPTION This module defines RGB values for common color names. The intention is to (1) provide a common module that authors can use with other modules to specify colors; and (2) free module authors from having to "re-invent the wheel" whenever they decide to give the users the option of specifying a color by name rather than RGB value. A more detailed description with documentation can be found in the module's POD. AUTHOR Robert Rothenberg LICENSE Copyright (c) 2001-2002 Robert Rothenberg. All rights reserved.
